Our progressive nature: the environment & the right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress and its applications

Abstract

The right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress and its applications seeks to ensure equitable distribution of the knowledge and tools that impel social advancement. Reflecting on the condition of our Earth and the considerable environmental transformations impacting upon communities across the globe, the equitable distribution of the knowledge and tools to limit, redress, and prevent further damage is crucial. This work aims to illustrate how the right to scientific progress can assist in protecting human dignity in an environmentally sustainable world.
